Don't forget Arsenal SP they had worse injuries than anyone in big 3.. Oh I see you meant it as a dig at Liverpool... well if that floats your boat.. ;-)


As I said at start of season I thought Arsenal were too physically weak to win title and I have been proved correct on that front. I actually think PL has been going backwards the last 4 years with last season being particularly poor when title was there for the taking.

I think Arsenal lost credibility as title contenders when they were comprehensively beaten by MU and Chelsea.


Having said that they could still have stolen it. I think Wenger prioritised the CL and lost Fabregas unnecessarily and before that dropped points at Birmingham when he rested some players ahead of the Barca game.


Once they lost Song and Fabregas to injury it was season over.


Chelseas win at Old Trafford really set them up to win it quite comfortably.

Chelsea...


deserved to win it ( how hard is that to say as I'm a Gooner ) & the game yesterday was an exhibition of how they go about it


They also scored an amazing amount of goals & given that some player created some fairly unsavory press for themselves, they stuck together as a team throughout the season


Good luck to them



Also seeing A F on the pitch yesterday speaking to the fans was fun, he did look a little peeved though ( rightly so I suppose )



Now Arsene ( I know you are reading this ) please, take some cash & buy some more experienced players



I mean, I watch paint dry for a living BUT this is even testing my patience

I'm sure Hodgson will win the League Managers Association (LMA)award which is voted for by other managers unlike the sponsored Premier League award...any manager in any division can win it. That's not to take anything away from 'arry especially as Spurs were serious relegation fodder when he took over 18 months ago. But what Woy has achieved this year with such a limited squad has been brilliant...

What about Carlo Ancelloti on the brink of winning the Double with Chelsea in his first season? Working with all those egos and smashing in over 100 league goals. This with a team who 2 years ago was judged to be past it's sell by date by Ferguson but have risen to the top with maximum points against Liverpool, Man U and Arsenal and not forgotting what must have been the destabilising antics of Terry and Cole.

      Austin's furniture store, Peckham

      By SueJM · Posted

      My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road).

      Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
